TAPS Togethers: Armed Services Arts Partnership Graduation Showcase, Newport News
May 4, 2025, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM Eastern
This event is open to all TAPS adult survivors who have experienced a military or veteran loss.
Join your TAPS family to celebrate the creativity in full color and harmony from the graduates from Armed Services Arts Partnership's Choir and Painting classes. Admire original pieces and experience live music all by graduates of our classes for veterans military families.
The Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that provides free comedy and arts classes to the military community, including veterans, reservists, service members, spouses, family members, and caregivers. ASAP classes include Stand-up Comedy, Storytelling, Improv, Acting, Creative Writing, Visual Arts, Music, and on and on. The culminating event of classes are ASAP's graduation shows, where class participants perform their newly-acquired skills for friends and family. ASAP performances are fun, informal events where the military-connected community can gather and show support for other members of the military family.
